BACKGROUND:
This ordinance is being submitted with the 2023 City of Columbus Operating Budget contingency which is anticipated to be adopted on February 13, 2023.

NIBRS is a set of rules set forth by the federal government to be followed by local and state agencies when reporting crime statistics. It assures all law enforcement agencies report crime data using the same data makers, types, and descriptors, as well as the same reporting methods, which enhances the FBI's ability to analyze the incoming statistics. The data migration from the legacy records management system (NetRMS) to the Motorola PremierOne Records system was authorized under ordinance 0343-2014 passed February 24, 2014 (EL015362), and awarded through solicitation SA005116 allowing for the data to be housed in one system.
The PremierOne Records Computerized Crime Data Reporting System is a proprietary system from Motorola Solutions, Inc., the sole provider and copyright holder of the system. As such, the City must purchase annual support and maintenance from Motorola Solutions, Inc. For this reason, this ordinance is being submitted in accordance with the provisions of sole source procurement of the City of Columbus Code, Chapter 329.

The PremierOne Records Computerized Crime Data Reporting System is essential and a critical component for offense and complaint/incident reports.
